Preparations were made to aend out notices to the owner Or ownara of each to bare it filled Imme diately or to turn the property over to the Department of Public Worlci for uae as a department "dump." The action of the director is the direct sequence of the protcat recently filed fay citizen? In the western nection of west Philadelphia over the existence of abandoned quarries and excavations taart which are wjd to have been re sponsible for the km of a number of children'- lire by drownlnx. At leaU one of these West Philadelphia ho'es la on property controlled by the Painsount Park CommUsionera.

The order to fill the ficavation toes to the ParU authorities s well as to private owners. These holes are a menace to the community and we will do everything In our power to conserve the Uvea of children. "The order Is not confined to quar ries. It applies to all excavations that are dangerous. There are numerous brickyard' ponds where the raaklna of bricks has been discontinued and where . the excavations have filled with water. All will hare to go, and where the owner or owners cannot do the work the Department pf Public Works will use the spots as public dumps."

"Belonging to a nonpartisan organl 2aHon does not mean you are a Dem ocrat, as a number of Republicans have inferred." says Mrs. George W. Pieraol, chairman of the Philadelphia county League of Women Voters. "It meant that the women who belong to this league are from all partlee." Mrs. Pieraol, n leader in suffrage movements here for several years and deeply interested In politics, refused to state her personal party preference. In an interview today she expressed her Idea concerning the coming elec tion. "As chairman of a nonpartisan organisation," she said, "my part is to help women find themselves politi cally not to Influence them to nfflll ate with one certain party. The League of Women Voters teaches women the right way to vote, cthi tally, and the right way mechanically. We thoroughly study all parties and all candidates so the women may se lect the party that comes most near their beliefs. We arc not fostering suspicion of anv party or any candi date. We are fostering the best there is. And we plead for greater intelli gence in voting among both men and women. We ask them to study what office there are and whether the can didates are qualified to fill them. If a public officer has not served well In the past, then he should not be voted for again. "Wt are not advocating a woman's parry. Far from it. Suffragists from the beginning have worked against segregation. We want to share re sponsibilities and work with the men. , to noire problem of government. In a great many emir nwln of women have been overlooked. We hone, throush the vote to correct this. Election laws and methods need changing in Philadel phia. There should be n unification the laws regarding womrn. Women should serve on school boards. There Are a multitude of legislative measure that women are particularly Interested In for the betterment of the nation. "Aa to Philadelphia women I be lieva there will be a light vote from them this year. Thoe who were anti suffragista will rote because they arc alive. The suffragists naturally v. ere among the first to get asResied and register. But there is a large clans of apathetic women who have not yet been touched. They have made no effort to inform themselves on politics or govern mental problems. They are indifferent and will not vote. The women who are awake are making every effort to reach these other women and -instill them with patriotic enthusiasm. "The League of Women Voters has Its headquarters at 211 Franklin build ing and is open to all women. Wc have aample ballots there and circulars ex plaining the mechanics of voting. There Is always some one to answer queries concerning these things. "I have a great deal of faith In the women and believe they wilt do much to aid throughout the country. There will, of course, be unintelligent women voters just an there nrc unintelligent men. Hut as a whole I believe the women are studylnc conditions, parties and candidate just as thoroughly as men tim year." CITY WiPROVEMENT Work to Bo Continued All Win ter So as to Aid Men Out of Employment BIDS TO BE RECEIVED TODAY Municipal Improvements will be con tinued all winter to help give the in creased number of unemployed men in the dry work to do. Director of Public Works Caven made Ihls announcement today. .

Director Caven believes that it Is the WOOLMAN'S NAME HONORED Schools Observe Anniversary of Friend Salnt'a Birth Frlenda' schools throughout the country are today honoring the name of John Woolman, Quaker saint and phi' lantropist, who was born 200 years ago at Rancocas, near Mt.

Employment Methods To train men and women for post tlons of responsibility In Employment nnd Welfare Work, we liavo arranged with Mr. Italph 11. Ray, Employment Manager of the P. U. T., to conduct a course In Employment Methods The clwss will moct Friday nights for 16 weeks, commencing October 22 Write, phono or call for outline of course Central Y M CA- al Building 1421 Arch Str Street Anticipatory Advertising To have a "distribution" means among sales managers that a commodity is in stock, ready for sale in a sufficient number of stores to be con venient for the public. An automobile might have thorough distribu tion with one thousand dealers. A breakfast food, to be equally well dis tributed, might require forty thousand retail sales outlets. Should a new product be advertised before securing distribution, or after? Obviously, advertising is most effective and economical when every sale it can induce may be easily consummated in some nearby store. On the other hand, the average store does not wish to put in stock new, unknown and unasked for goods. "Advertise and create a demand' says the merchant, "and then we will stock your lines." Anticipatory advertising loses some retail sales but facilitates the getting of a thorough distribution economically. You remember the old question of the priority of the chicken or the egg.
